' 6 Claims. (01. 201-63) This invention relatesto a static eliminator for radio receiving sets.

In the'operation of radio receiving sets it is known that static may be substantiall eliminated if signal strength will be sacrificed to a limited extent. When the receiving set is located circuit of the receiving set. 4

It is a further object oi the present invention to provide a static eliminator in the form of a resistor which is of novel but simple construction.

It is an additional on to provide a static eliminator companying drawing, in

As shown in Figure 3 the dual resistor 01 the present invention may be plugged into a socket l8 mounted in a wall l1 and a plug l8, having attached thereto a cord I 9 extending to the radio receiving set (not shown), may then be plugged into the dual resistor. 7

An important part of the manner structed and assembled.

stratified form on one iaceiwith a suitable metallic foil, such as tin or a suitable alloy, which is cemented thereto. When these strips are placed in the container Hi the arrangement is such that the in Figure 2. That is with the planes of the folds extending longitudinally of the container. The folded strips 19 at opposite sides of the partition l3 form each end of both pile-ups, abutting at one end the male prongs i4 and at the other end abutting the female prongs I5. From this arrangement it will be apparent that there is contact resistance along the planes of juncture of the contiguous strips l9 and 20.

In the modification illustrated in Figures 4-5, the resistor strips -26 are arranged in a single pile-up in a cartridge or container 21. Both ends 2829 of the container are removable,'and the former mentioned male and female prongsltl are replaced by conductors .30 and 30 which extend to plates 32 and 33 respectively. on the inner faces of said ends.

Figure 6 shows the resistor of the present invention in circuit with an antenna 34 and a capacitor 35. The static and interference oscillations from other than radio communication sources are usually aperiodic, that is of no definite frequency and they can be tuned out with this circuit.

It will be obvious shape, and relative arrangement of the various parts may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
